The Times is informed that .
two of the three trucks given to ,
York county by the Federal ,
government are being used on i
the streets of York. This being i
the case, we wonder what for
and why?
One of our small town ex- ,
changes notes the fact that it is
carrying paid advertising' for ;
one of its local churches. Many 1
of the city churches have
practiced this for some time and ;
doubtiess find it profitable.
The city of Chester a few
days ago voted $160,000 for
street improvements. Which
brings anew to our minds the
question of how much longer
the people of Fort Mill are going
to put up with the rough and
ragged streets of our town.
Township Supervisor Kimbrell
some days ago received a new
road machine and with its
operation the condition of the
roads of the township have been
much improved during the last
ten days. If we could induce
Supervisor Boyd to come over
and work up the road from Fort
Mill to the county bridge, our

Car Ken Return to Work.
Employes of the Charlotte
Street Railway returned to work
Friday afternoon. First cars
were turned over to the old men
at 3 o'clock.
An agreement, by which the ,
strikers yield the demand for
recognition of the Amalgamated ,
Association and the company
makes an increase in the wage
scale, to a maximum of 431-2
cents an hour, was signed at the
office of President Z. V. Taylor,

10 o'clock Friday morning.
Electrical workers sent word
to Mr. Taylor Friday morning
that they were willing to meet
him as individuals and without
the support of the brotherhood
representatives. Mr. Taylor invited
the men to corne to" see
him.
Men employed to operate the
cars in the place of the strikers
will be used for an indefinite
time, then given a bonus when
relieved of duty, according to
announcement of Mr. Taylor.
In signing the agreement
Friday Mr. Taylor said he
yielded to the request of the
strikers to take back all men
who were on duty when the
strike was called. Mr. Taylor
explained that he felt he could
not standvout against the men
on that point when he recognized
it was the sole difference between
them. He saw that the
men did not wish to be charged
w ith being unfair to each other,
and he said he preferred to consider
the public and the larger
group of men rather than to
insist on his own wishes.
Asks York for $13,875.
Apportionment of the Memorial
Fund among theconnties
of the State was announced
Saturday by the South Carolina
Memorial Commission. The apportionment
is based upon the
quotas in the Liberty Loan campaigns.
The Victory Loan quotas were
based on ten per cent, of the
banking resources, and where
banking resources were not
sufficient a per capita of $7.50
was used. The quotas for the '
Memorial Fund represent approximately
.016 of the Victory ;
Loan quotas. ;
